Since the War of Liberation, many of China's battles have become important chapters in history. Among these battles, one of the most representative battles was the Battle of Tower Hill. This battle took place during the Battle of Jinzhou and became an important scene in the War of Liberation. **In order to rush to the aid of Jinzhou, he chose to pass through Tashan, while Dongye withstood the enemy's attack and successfully completed the blocking mission. However, we can't help but ask: why not get around it?
First, we need to understand the key factors of Tower Hill's topography. Tashan is not really a mountain range, but a small village located between Jinxi and Gaoqiao, with flat terrain and no natural barriers. At that time, the ** "Eastern Advance Corps" had an advantage in both strength and firepower, which made Tashan a defensive problem.
In the face of such terrain and enemy superiority, the original plan was to use the highland advantage of Baitai Mountain to defend, but this "movement defense" method of blocking was considered unacceptable by the head of Higashino. He proposed the redeployment of the Tashan defensive line, emphasized the strategy of "defending the mountain must defend the village", strengthened the defense of Tashan village, and mobilized troops at the same time, putting forward slogans such as "defending the position to the death" and "living and dying with the position".
Not to be outdone, the side mobilized a large number of troops and prepared to break through Higashino's defense line with a fierce attack. Unfortunately, they were unable to break through, which ultimately led to the outcome of the Battle of Tower Hill.
In the process, ** had considered bypassing Tashan and finding other roads to directly aid Jinzhou. However, since the straight-line distance is the shortest and it is easier to reach Jinzhou, it has become a must to take Tashan. Other routes, such as the route west of Baitai Mountain or Tayu Mountain east of Tashan Mountain, existed, but they had to be abandoned due to the terrain and the need for rapid assistance.
However, after the unsuccessful attack on the Tashan defensive line, Que Hanqian proposed a plan: bypass Tashan and detour back behind Dongye. This plan was rejected, mainly because the Warlord Roach insisted on attacking from the front, believing that ** had an advantage in strength and firepower, and it was only a matter of time before Tashan was taken. He insisted on his opinion, citing the arrival of the 95th Division and the opportunity to ask for merit in front of Chiang Kai-shek.
In the end, ** missed the opportunity to get around Tower Hill. Would the situation have changed if Que Hanqian's plan had been chosen at that time? Personally, I don't think it's very likely, because the 4th Column of the East Field still has 1 Column as a general reserve to prevent the occurrence of all kinds of emergencies, so even if it is a detour, it is difficult to change the outcome of the failure.
**10,000 Fans Incentive Plan The results of the Tashan Resistance Battle make people think deeply: in the war, we can not only see the superficial victory and defeat, but also need to go deep into the choice of strategy and tactics. And the story of this battle not only shows us the importance of military decisions, but also makes us think about the difficulty of making the right choice in a difficult situation.
In the long river of history, every decision may affect the direction of the entire war situation, and as an important battle in the War of Liberation, perhaps we can get more inspiration from it.
